We’ve now completed the draft Theme Accessibility Audit Criteria and have settled on a proposed new theme tag: accessibility-ready. We’re now discussing how the new Accessibility Audit can be added to the workflow of the Theme Review Team. As this is going to involve some programmatic changes to the current theme submission system, this might take some time to iron out but I’ll try to keep everyone updated with the progress.

The TOCs for the Plugin and Theme Developer Handbooks are now being worked on. Accessibility does feature in both which is good, but we should keep an eye on those to make sure it’s not an afterthought.

I’m on the Support/Docs team already and Siobhan has me listed as a contact point for the Accessibility sections of each of the Handbooks. As soon as each of the handbooks reach a point where we can contribute, I’ll post here so that we can hammer out some drafts. I also think we need to look over the handbooks themselves at some point and check that they, too, are as accessible as possible.
